no radius tool shown in lathe backplot

[kcham]

I am running X2 MR2 lathe. I have noticed that, when I use a full radius grooving tool, then the tool will not display in backplot. I have seen this several times now and it is very annoying. In each case, all of the other tools used in the Mcam file display just fine in backplot. That fact makes me think that this is yet another MasterCam bug. Any ideas?

Yes it is a bug.. it has been reported and I believe it is fixed in X3..

as a workaround..

unshade the tools in backplot.. it should

display correctly

Thanks gcode. I checked "Plain" in the tool appearance area, and the tool is now sufficiently displayed.
